KALE CHIPS

Course Appetizers, Snacks
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large bunch Kale preferably curly leaf variety
  • 2 cups raw cashews soaked overnight in water or sunflower seeds
  • 1-1/2 cup chopped red pepper
  • 1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Amino Acids regular amino acids, or Tamari
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Wash the kale, strip the green leaves off the tough center stems, and tear leaves into large bite size pieces. You can compost the stems, or use them in smoothies.
  • In your blender or food processor, blend everything together except the kale.
  • Add a little water to thin the "cheese" just enough to blend well.
  • Continue to blend until your "cheese" is thick, pasty and smooth.
  • In a large bowl, using your fingers, massage the cheese over the kale.
  • Arrange each coated kale leaf on the tray of your dehydrator - making sure it's well coated by painting on 'cheese" with your fingers and laying the leaf flat.
  • Sprinkle leaves with crushed red pepper flakes if you would like them to be spicy, or sprinkle a little more nooch, or a seasoning of your choice.
  • If you have extra sauce left over, use it over lightly steamed broccoli or other veggies. I use 4 heads of kale with this amount of cheese.
